2 ʻI he ʻamanaki lelei ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito loi, ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani; (aiōnios g166)
duk wannan kuwa saboda begen nan ne ga rai madawwami da Allah ya yi alkawari tun fil azal, shi wanda ƙarya ba ta a gare shi, (aiōnios g166)
3 Ka kuo fakahā ʻi hono kuonga totonu ʻa ʻene folofola ʻi he malanga, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate au, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;

5 Ko e meʻa ni naʻaku tuku ai koe ʻi Keliti, koeʻuhi ke ke fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻosi, ʻo fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate koe:

6 Kapau ʻoku taʻehala ha tokotaha, koe husepāniti ʻoe fefine pe taha, ʻoku tui ʻene fānau, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokia ʻi ha fakamaveuveu pe ha talangataʻa.

7 He ʻoku totonu ke taʻehalaia ʻae tauhi, ʻo taau mo e tauhi koloa ʻae ʻOtua; ʻo ʻikai fai ki hono loto, pe ʻitangofua, pe tokanga ki he uaine, pe faʻa tā, pe tokanga ki he koloa ʻuli;
Da yake an danƙa wa mai kula da ikkilisiya riƙon amana saboda Allah, dole yă zama marar aibi ba mai girman kai ba, ba mai saurin fushi ba, ba mai buguwa ba, ba mai rikici ba, ba kuma mai son ƙazamar riba ba.
8 Kae ʻofa ia ki he fai angalelei, pea ʻofa ki he kakai angalelei, ke ne anga fakapotopoto, mo angatotonu, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angamaau;
A maimakon haka dole yă zama mai karɓan baƙi, mai son abu nagari, mai kamunkai, mai adalci, mai tsarki da kuma natsattse.
9 ʻO ne puke ke maʻu ʻae lea moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko hono akonekina, koeʻuhi ke ne faʻa fai ke enginaki mo valoki tonu ʻae kau lea kovi ʻaki ʻae akonaki totonu.

10 He ʻoku ai ʻae tokolahi ʻoku angatuʻu, ko e kau launoa mo e kau kākā, pea ʻoku tuʻu muʻa ai ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu:
Gama akwai’yan tawaye da yawa, masu surutun banza da masu ruɗi, musamman ƙungiyar masu kaciya.
11 ʻAkinautolu ʻoku totonu ke tāpuni honau ngutu; ʻoku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa, ʻo ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ka nau maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻuli.
Dole a hana su yin magana, domin suna kawo rushewar iyalai ta wurin koyar da abubuwan da bai kamata su koyar ba don neman ƙazamar riba.
12 Ko honau tokotaha, ko e tangata kikite pe ʻonautolu, naʻe pehē, “ʻOku loi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai Keliti, ko e fanga manu fekai mo kovi, ko e kau faʻa kai fakapikopiko.”

Wannan shaida gaskiya ce. Saboda haka, sai ka tsawata musu sosai, don su zama sahihai a wajen bangaskiya,

Ga tsarkaka kuwa, kome mai tsarki ne, amma ga waɗanda suke marasa tsarki da kuma marasa ba da gaskiya, ba abin da yake da tsarki. Gaskiya dai, hankulansu da lamirinsu duk marasa tsarki ne.
16 ʻOku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngaue ʻoku nau siʻaki ia, ʻoku nau anga fakalielia, mo talangataʻa, pea taʻehafifili lelei ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
